I don't feel quite qualified with this daunting list!
I'll go for @tyke51 20

While we’re waiting, here’s something to consider…
…it’s been over a year since we’ve had a word to clue with a “Q” in it.

The last time Q appeared was October 2023 in AQUARIUS, WPR 207, set by Chris.

The other least clued letters and their number of appearances in the last year are perhaps not surprising:
Z (1), J (2), X (5), V (7), Y (13), K (17).

Wow, what a fantastic response - seventeen setters and almost eighty entries! Welcome Drdubosc and thank you everyone.

With so many superb clues to choose from there it was doubtful there was ever going to be a runaway winner. I might mention that my personal favourites were Spike 41 and Dorrien 66, but after that, impossible.

Amej @7, Tyke @20 and Mattrom @55 share the honour of second place but are narrowly beaten by the consistently sharp Simplesimon @18

She was Apple’s first consumer (3)

Congratulations SS! To quote the notorious Raffles - albeit for a different clue - ''Succinct and witty (somewhat), the way I like ‘em...''

Well done ss and thanks geting.


BTW I got distracted and forgot to add congrats and thanks for clueless.

Congrats SS and thanks geting.

"Dinner for one" refused to play. I've seen it before (in Germany, of course), but I didn't know there was a colour version.

Very nice SS - well done! Appreciate your votes Chrise, Sam 73 & Drdubosc (welcome !) and mentions Geeker & Dorrien.
Many thanks for the challenge Geting !

Spike ... I was a revolting 14 year old Tykelet in 1965 so remember the Barry McGuire version of Eve of Destruction ... I managed to record it on a cheap tape recorder. In those days there was no Radio 1 ... but we had the Pirate radio stations and Radio Luxembourg! ... exciting times ...

Here`s Barry ...

I don't know why that may be Chris. I Just tried it and it's fine here.
Try this link, also in colour but worse quality

Nope, didn't work either, geting. Might there be a geographic restriction? That's what the first refusal implied.
I don't really need to see it again, anyway - I'm not German!
